Medical school in my future?

samedi 24 octobre 2015

I am currently a sophomore Nuclear Medicine Technology major at a private college in Pennsylvania with a uGPA of 3.33. I recently been wondering whether I should stick with this major or change due to job outlooks after I graduate. (I have been planning on taking a gap year or two after graduation.) I have been thinking about Medical Laboratory Science as a new major. I will soon meet with my counselor to talk about this. I have already taken these courses:

College Algebra: 2.0 (taken in highschool during dual-enrollment. Yes, I know really dumb of me.)
Applied Calculus: 3.5
Bio 1 : 3.0
Chem 1: 2.5
Chem 2: 3.5
Medical Terminology: 2.5
Physics 2: 4.0

I also have taken many other classes for my undergrad pre-reqs and I am currently taking Human A&P 1, Organic Chem 1, and Statistics. I am doing pretty well in all and expect a 3.5 if not a 4.0 in these classes. I've been also wondering if I should retake College Algebra, Chem 1, and Medical terminology before I graduate. I am not really sure how retakes work but I want to know if it would be worth it.

I am 3 clubs at my school and plan on getting more involved.

I currently work at a local hospital as a housekeeper. In highschool I volunteered over 270 hours in the hospital pharmacy which probably helped me obtain this position. I have been planning on changing departments but I am unsure what I want to do next. I have been looking an imaging assistant job, lab tech, or being a medical scribe.

My main questions are:
Should I change majors?
Am I on the right track?
What type of experience or job should I take up next?
Is it a good idea to take a gap year?
Overall, do I have chance at medical school? DO OR MD?

Any advice would be great! Thanks!
